Easter Weekend

I hope you’ve all been enjoying your long weekend. It’s been nice having more family around, and catching up with them. I’ve been working on “Sunbath” and “Sunlove” during this wintry spring weather, and unpacking the landscape drawings that were in the “Prairie Pastels” touring exhibition for the last four years in North Dakota and [...]

Posters for Southwest Healthcare

I donated three sunflower posters and three badlands landscape posters to Southwest Healthcare for their Celebrity Waiter fundraiser on March 9th. Hope some of you will be there for the fun and to support a great cause.

Candles, Pine Cones, Wreaths, and Stars

Well, the holiday decorating season is in full swing around here. Colors of chocolate, mocha mustard, ochre, gold, and vanilla cinnamon brulee have taken over my living room; while champagne, silver, green, and white are brightening my office space. I’ve been cleaning and reorganizing my bookcases this morning, and they have been in need of that [...]

Bighorn Canyon Area

One of my favorite places from my summer vacation was the Bighorn Canyon area near Lovell, Wyoming. The canyon itself is spectacular, and the hills and trees surrounding it are very unusual and beautiful.

Here’s a shot from the Boot Scoot ‘N Boogie fashion show on [...]

September 11th, 2011

It’s a warm, sunny, glorious day here in Bowman, ten years after the terrorist attacks on our country. Those events which caused so much pain and sorrow also brought out the highest and best that humanity has to offer. I hope that time will continue to heal the wounds, and the world will evolve to the point [...]

Evelyn Cameron Print

When I was in Terry, Montana this summer, I ordered a 12×18″ print of the Yellowstone River country by Evelyn Cameron. Here it is now, framed and displayed on my entry table. Thanks to my aunt Sandie for the wonderful birthday present! What a great souvenir of a fabulous landscape. There are several books about [...]
